... but Canterbury, Zaldain, the Johnstons, Gustafson, Fieder, and a bunch more are head and shoulders better fisherman than a whole slew of those guys now. Those guys would be lucky crack the top 50 in BPT if you compare their past and current success. They are in the top of BASS now. However, if you want to compare talent there is no way BASS is even close to BPT top to bottom. As for comparing formats that's apples and oranges. But, the BPT guys are the ones that dominate BASS and FLW for years. Again, the top 5-10 in BASS or FLW could compete with the best of BPT anglers on any given day. It's similar to trying convince someone that Conference USA or Mountain West has better talent than the SEC in football. You might like the style of play but the doesn't make the talent better. If there fishing or college football on TV, I am going to watch it. As long as I find it entertaining / competitive regardless of the talent or style of play, I'm all in.  Absolutely laughable. My original quote said that anyone that thinks BPT is the best of the best fishermen from top to bottom is confused. I don't agree with your numbers, but even you said some of them in BASS and FLW are better than guys in BPT. I don't know what the past and football has to do with it, but thank you for agreeing with me.

The guys now fishing BASS and FLW didn't all of sudden didn't get any better. The competition left. I think we all agree that BASS and FLW still have some top level studs remaining. But we are talking maybe 5 guys. Not 50+ deep out of the top 80. Please list all of the BASS and FLW tournament wins and AOY's for BPT guys and then list those same accomplishments from either of the remaining BASS and FLW guys. If it shows then you don't have to convince everyone how they are better than BPT anglers.

For you to say there isn’t many flw anglers with a lot accomplishments is little off. Thrift, Martin,Dudley, Nixon ,Cox combine for about $ 12,832,477 and few aoy and cups between them I would say that not to bad

You are right. BPT only got 78 of the top 90 professional fishermen from FLW and BASS.

Now go ahead an compare the next 75 guys in FLW.

I prefer BASS can’t take MLF announcers seriously +1 On a lighter note, the real winner in this whole deal has been my boy Mercer. Now that some of you guys have someone/something new to hate, you’ve given him and the whole BASS crew a much needed pass.
